minor things that make you fume

Since retiring and seeking more tranquility I've stopped listening to radio 4 or the news. There's little I can do about a country run by an elite with public school connections to make things right.

However today I awoke and switched it on. This week it being described as "women's hour takes over radio 4 week" lol I'm not going to say what would be obvious for those who know my opinions on that.

What really riled me is the continuing plummeting of standards at the BBC with the lady on Radio 4's weather announcing that today will be "more fresher."

Sigh.
 

Wasps. They make me fume . We've got a nest in the attic and it's going to cost us £58 to remove it.

They're dive-bombing us in the bath. And coming in the kitchen. Just frightful behaviour.

Proper Kopites the Wasps.


We were on holiday last summer in a wooden lodge, hot tub etc. When very late at night a lad knocked us up.
He asked me to go into his lodge as his bird was in the shower and they had a hornet in the living area. He had jogged on and left her stranded and was too scared to go and sort it.
I was a bit bevvied and just went and smacked it with me flip flop.

They had left their holiday early by the time I had woken up next morning.

Get a lot of hornets by us. They're much less aggressive than your standard wasp but the size of them is impressive. Imagine a sting would be pretty painful.

Reminds me of a HMHB line

“Opinionated weather forecasters telling me it’s going to be a miserable day/Miserable to who? I quite like a bit of drizzle,/so stick to the facts"

Last summer, we had one hidden in the gable of our house where I couldn't get to them and they were everywhere for a good few days.

The missus got onto the internet and some friends of the earth style woman came around and spoke highly of them and their benefits and it pained her.

K'off, here's my £60 now annihilate the lot of them because I wish I could do it! Anyway, they all went mental and within a day they were thankfully all gone.

On another note, I remember a friend had a termite infestation in his garden so I poured two bottles of white spirit down it and threw a firework in it. Boom!

Agreed. There's too much opinion in the media rather than facts. It's as though people are being lead into what to think. Perhaps there are many who can't think for themselves.

can you get near it? Wilkos sell a spray that melts the buggers. You wait until they have all come in for a snooze or matinee or whatever they do in the evening. Squirt this stuff ( mine was about five feet away) at the nest. Worked a treat.

For the summer I have invested in a electronic tennis racquet bug zapper.

It's boss.

Stood there like Roger Federer in me front room forehanding them all over the gaff.
The crack it makes when you hit them is very satisfying indeed.
